3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle, 7%, Pasteurised/Filtered
Deep brown with ruby highlights, veracious carbonation and tan head. Aromas of thick sweet dark malts, with some dark stewed or dried plum and stewed rhubarb? Falvours are intense sweet light malts, with a hint of roastiness/hop bitterness midpalate. Pretty damn good really.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Dark ruby red body, with a thin layer of creamy tan foam. The foam lasts the entire beer even though it gets little thinner.
Aroma is mostly of fruity, plum not much more but nice.
Flavor of fruit plum and som woody notes.Not really an hopprecens but nice anyway
Palate is very warming and thin but creamy.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours an amber-brown with a small ring of foam and minimal lace. Very metallic aroma, sweet with no detectable hops. Tastes very watery and sweet, with a hint of light cherry soda pop. Some sweet teryaki, definitely munich malt in there, and a warm fruity finish. Very thin body with low carbonation (tiny fizziness). This is weak, watery, and not at all like the Quadroupel that I enjoyed from La Trappe. Disappointing!
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tan head and ruby colur. Wonderful plum notes. Medium body. Deep dark and wonderful!!!
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle - July 2007. Ripe fruit, pruney, ripe bananas on the nose. Fruity, warm and inviting aroma. Hazy caramel color with a rather thin creamy tan head. Malty, toffee flavor, sweet but not cloying, rummy with a fruity ending. Medium full MF with some chewy malts. Aftertaste a bit short.
Nice, malty dubbel but a bit too unidimentional.

3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Courtesy of Kurtis Sea. Big tan head that sustains. Decent lace. Aromas provide a roasty chestnut and hint of caramel. Tastes are similar with a hint of cola and sour grape. High carbonation and full body. Good.
